BPA is commonly used in which type of products?

• A. Glassware
• B. Metal cookware
• C. Wood furniture
• D. Plastic products such as baby/water bottles, foodware, and can linings

Answer: (D)

BPA is used to harden polycarbonate plastics and to form epoxy resin can linings, so it shows up most often in plastic items and inside metal cans. That’s why plastic products such as baby and water bottles, other foodware, and the linings of cans are common BPA-containing items. Glassware and wood furniture aren’t built around BPA-containing plastics, and metal cookware is typically metal or coated with materials that aren’t BPA-based. So the best description is plastic products like baby/water bottles, foodware, and can linings.
